Dev Loop Packaging

Dev Loop Packaging

Use this skill when you need a fresh .app bundle, a fast build-package-relaunch loop, or a packaged runtime repro instead of a compile-only check.

Default Loop

• Prefer swift build for the fastest compile verification.
• Prefer swift test --skip KasetUITests for the default non-UI test pass.
• Escalate to packaging only when you need a runnable app bundle, login/WebView/runtime inspection, or bundle verification.

Common Commands

swift build
Scripts/build-app.sh
Scripts/compile_and_run.sh
Scripts/compile_and_run.sh --test
Scripts/compile_and_run.sh --lint
Scripts/compile_and_run.sh --wait

What The Scripts Do

• Scripts/build-app.sh builds the app and assembles .build/app/Kaset.app.
• Scripts/compile_and_run.sh kills existing Kaset processes, optionally runs tests and linting, packages a debug app by default, relaunches it, and checks that it stays running. Pass --release for a release build.
• Scripts/compile_and_run.sh --test runs the SwiftPM test target before packaging; it does not invoke the separate Xcode UI-test project.
• Scripts/build-app.sh can also build for custom architectures via ARCHES.
